After completing our first three school outreaches, we stood at a crossroads. The excitement of putting our vision into action was great, but the reality of financial constraints began to weigh heavily on the Positive Mindset Initiative (PMI) committee. The journey had been powered by sacrifice and commitment, but scaling up to serve more students required resources that were quickly running out…
There were honest, often difficult, deliberations: Should we continue? Can we sustain this? It would have been easy to pause, celebrate the three completed schools, and wait for more input. But the core belief in our mission—the impact we knew we were having on the students—pushed us to keep going. We collectively decided to take a leap of faith, trusting that our purpose would draw the necessary support.
What happened next was a truly humbling and motivating surprise. Just as we committed to moving forward, we experienced a spontaneous and unexpected surge in donations. It was a gift that felt divinely timed, proving that our work resonated beyond our immediate circle. These new resources weren’t just money; they were a vote of confidence that completely revitalized the team.
This unexpected boost immediately funded the packages and logistics for our final, ambitious outreach to two schools: Akodo and Iwerekun. That influx of support was the wind beneath our wings, transforming a moment of financial doubt into one of profound excitement. We weren’t just continuing; we were pushing on with renewed vigor, ready to deliver our biggest outreach yet.
